The insurer is willing to expand the commodity cover list. All staffs are advised to feedback to XpressCover unit whenever they receive frequent enquiries for commodities not fall under the list. XpressCover unit will compile the feedback and send request to the insurer.

Basis of Valuation & Basis of Settlement?

In order to expedite the covering process, XpressCover adopts a claim formula from Average Clause, which means that XpressCover's clients can declare their consignments in any value they wish. It can be their consignment invoice value, Cost value, 20% of Cost price, 10% Invoice value, or even any value but not more than the market value of the consignment note. However, clients are recommended to declare their consignments at the market value.

Whenever there is a claim, XpressCover will request an Invoice, Quotation, Cash Bill or any pricing document of that consignment, verify against the average market price, and apply the average clause claim formula as follows:

What should be the packing?

Senders shall ensure appropriate packing of consignments to make sure that the contents are sufficiently protected during normal pallet and parcel processing and mechanical sorting as well as to prevent the consignments from causing damage or injury to other shipments. Every consignment must be packed and closed in a manner benefiting the weight, the size and the nature of the contents as well as the mode and duration of conveyance. The packing and closing must protect the contents against crushing or damage by repeated handling and must also be such that it is impossible to tamper with the contents without leaving clear traces thereof. On the packing or the wrapping, the consignment must have sufficient space for service instructions and for affixing labels. If, in connection with the posting of a consignment, Carrier finds out that the consignment is not packed or wrapped in an appropriate manner, the company is ?at its own option ?entitled to either reject the consignment or the consignment is sent at the sender's risk. For fragile articles and liquid substances senders are required only to use packing, which has been approved by XpressCover. Fragile articles include technical equipment, such as computer, data processing and laser equipment, etc., chinaware, articles of glass and similar fragile objects as well as furniture, prams, etc. which by reason of their shape or structure do not readily lend themselves to loading with other parcels.

Should inspection on consignment needed before holding cover?

Staffs are recommended to inspect the consignment to ensure the accuracy of physical versus documentation. Considering the nature of Courier company staff workload, staff may not have sufficient time to do so. As such, a XpressCover Form/ Online XpressCover declaration, that is filled up with detailed product descriptions will be deemed sufficient.

Please note that XpressCover is authorized to request reports from any staff handling the consignment whenever a claim occurs.

How fast is the claim?

Claim will be processed within 21 days from the date of submission of the relevant documents from sender to XpressCover.
